Folding chairs in the lobby accommodated some of the overflow, and many in the crowd wept during a photo slideshow of the slain couple in far happier times.

“As I stand here and look at both them, I say, ‘You know what? What a perfect way to leave this world,’” said Richard’s daughter Regina.

“They left together. Not one of them had to go through mourning or having to bury each other.”

Grace Bible senior pastor Erin Weaver told the mourners from nearby Sutherland Springs that his church was there to offer help and support.

“We have been and will continue to pray for you,” said Weaver. “As I have been sharing with the families, it is one step at a time. But you are not alone.”

Pomeroy and his wife were out of town when the Nov. 5 killing started inside their church.

The First Baptist Church was slated to reopen its sanctuary as a memorial Sunday. The church was also preparing to hold its first worship services – at an adjacent community center – since the mass shooting.
